Introduction
This document describes how to use the Storage Mirroring
Application Manager to create and validate your application
configuration. The Application Manager lets you quickly configure
protection for an application without requiring you to have advanced
knowledge of either Storage Mirroring or your application. The Application Manager works by
gathering information about your source and target environments, then configuring Storage Mirroring
to protect the source.
About the Storage Mirroring Application Manager
The Application Manager is used to simplify the setup of standard Storage Mirroring connections. The
Application Manager discovers all servers running a designated application in your environment so
that you can determine which servers are not protected. It gathers information about the
environment from various sources (including Storage Mirroring, Active Directory ® , and DNS) and
automatically configures Storage Mirroring to protect that environment. It also performs a “health
check” to make sure that your configuration is correct. This check not only helps to reduce
configuration errors, but it also simplifies the setup process.
